Timothy Westbrook

Who He Is: The 24-year-old Wisconsin native owns and operates a studio where he's training 10 college apprentices in design.

Where He Learned to Sew: Westbrook's grandmother is responsible for the beginning of his education in fashion, teaching him how to sew at just age 9. He eventually made his way to the alterations department at David's Bridal.

Why He Might Win: Westbrook's already hard at work running his own studio, and mass-market experience and his verve for sustainability prime him for lots of future success.
